Celebrate Summer 2025

Marchand Logging Days brought in a busy crowd through rain and shine this weekend in Marchand Park.  

Though there were spurts of rain throughout the day, members of the community were excited to see the original Mud Bogging.  

With 3 minutes on the clock, riders were meant to see how quickly they could ride their ATV’s through the intense mud bog. 

The Southeast Event Center hosted celebrations for their Grand Opening today.  

After the ceremony, a community lunch hosted approximately 700 people.  

Bouncy castles and inflatable games were moved inside due to a chance of rain, but kids were just as excited for the indoor fun. With face painting and balloon animals the afternoon started off strong.  

With two weeks left in August, summer fairs, festivals, and fun are ramping up. Make sure you check out some of the amazing events the Southeast has to offer this weekend before summer comes to an end.  

Here is where we’ll be:  

Kleefeld Honey Festival

When: Saturday, August 23rd

Where: Kleefeld Park

Quarry Days returned to Stonewall this past weekend, bringing with it the kind of small-town energy and big-community turnout that’s made it a staple of the Interlake summer for years.

The three-day festival, which ran from Friday to Sunday this past weekend, delivered exactly what people have come to expect, live music, food trucks, parades, a midway, and thousands of smiling faces. The street was packed from Friday night through Sunday afternoon, with locals and out-of-towners soaking up the last stretch of summer.

The 2025 Teulon International Truck & Tractor Pull brought crowds, horsepower, and plenty of small-town spirit to Green Acres Park this past weekend. With over 50 years of pulling history behind it, the event continues to grow into one of the most anticipated weekends of the summer. 

Thursday evening began one of Grunthal’s favourite weekends.  Hanover Ag fair started celebrations with the Bull Riders Canada Invitational, an outdoor movie, and a party in the dirt.  

Today brings family fun for everyone on a beautiful Saturday in the southeast. The morning showcased a parade, vendor villages, and world-famous chicken.  

Mid-August brings tons of fun-filled events, many of which include rodeos. Hanover Ag is taking over the weekend, bringing people from across the Southeast to Grunthal for rodeo fun and fairs.  However, there are plenty of events this weekend. Check out our list below! 

Here is where we’ll be :  

Hanover Ag Fair  

Arborg’s beloved Street Festival took over the downtown core this past weekend, welcoming hundreds to two full days of homegrown fun, flavour, and free community entertainment. With the streets closed off by Friday evening and fireworks capping off the night, residents and visitors alike packed the sidewalks to take in the sights, sounds, and summer celebrations. 

From food trucks and live music to a parade, market, art show, and games, organizers say this year's turnout may have been the biggest yet. 

Families, friends, and neighbours came together this past weekend for the 2025 Gladstone Fair, a three-day celebration that blended summer fun with heartfelt community spirit and record-breaking fundraising. 

Held from August 8 to 10, the fair once again delivered a full slate of events ranging from foam-filled kids’ activities and sizzling smoker auctions to classic live music and a relaxed Sunday picnic atmosphere. Organizers say this year’s turnout was one of the best in recent memory. 

Carrick Days is a weekend-long celebration that brings together members of the community for what feels like one large family reunion.   

Volunteer Darlene Johansson says that there are only 7 full-time residents of Carrick. The rest of the community are cottage owners.   

Johansson was born and raised in Carrick and returns to this event every year because of the community and the people.
